These thoughts crossed my mind as the sun rose yesterday above the hills afar, an ocean of trees and mystery
The Good
A mild path is adorned with gentleness and flowers
The scent of which betrays a core of hopelessness
The Bad
Like a dark river flowing- riddled with crocodile fins, ugly, sweaty and dynamic- Opaque forests that create future oxygen
The Powerful
Immediate, impromptu - its presence does cater neither for negotiation nor ease. Beyond good and bad it encompasses a common truth without Christmas wrapping
Franz, your style is admirably stark...the power in your vision and the thoughts that convey it make a grand impression. That landscape of yours sounds just like all of nature: beautiful, dangerous, soothing, cruel
With or without the wrapping of dreams, illusions and hope: I wish you serenity, happiness and peace!
